Police late yesterday were trying to talk a 70-year-old man accused of shooting his daughter's boyfriend into turning himself in.

The 32-year-old victim, who was shot just before 3 p.m. in the Carkeek Park area, was conscious and able to tell police that his girlfriend's father did it, according to police spokesman Sean Whitcomb. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with two gunshot wounds in his chest.

The suspected shooter was last seen driving a dark silver 2005 Toyota Corolla with Arizona license number 828 MWF. Police were in touch with him intermittently by cell phone but had not yet persuaded him to surrender by early evening, Whitcomb said. Police said the victim and suspect's daughter were in some sort of dispute when the shooting occurred.
